In recognition of the fact that a bit of God bothering is emerging on the Winston Churchill thread, I thought i'd raise this one.

My personal opinion is - full of sh*t

The only way i'll change my mind is if they change a few stories to reflect reality, in particular Noahs ark.

Anyone with half a brain knows that if you put a complete collection of animals on a boat for forty days, all that will be left at the end is two really fat crocodiles and a couple of nervous looking rhinos.

... and optional, so those who don't like don't have to read it.
On the other hand, the US style evangelism is deeply tedious.

Agree totally ...seen a lot of American style preaching.....shallow and misleading..I hate it.
On the other hand, many people slag off the bible and dismiss it as bullshit without having ever read the bloody thing ..which is equally shallow and misleading

That's the traditional and tried and tested way to formulate an opinion about a book.

It is a load of fcuking claptrap. My opinion. I think Joe Rogan summed it up well.

"It truly boggles my mind that a big percentage of people in the year 2001 in the world, believe in a goofy book that was written by people that lived thousands of years ago. It really just completely freaks me out when I think about it.
They lived in a time when the world was flat, and the earth was the center of the universe. They wrote a book, said it was the word of God, and two thousand years later people are still buying their bullsh*t.

That is one fcuking incredible human accomplishment.

The fact that a book filled with stories too dumb to make it into an episode of Xena Princess Warrior continues to be used as the guide for human behavior after all this time is truly fcuking mind boggling."
